Recent Studies Show Military Suicide Rate higher than those killed in combat


Recent information released from the Pentagon show that suicide rate in the military than those killed in combat.  There is average 1 suicide a day in today's war that has been going on over a decade.  This is thought to be caused by the increase in deployments and the military being overburdened.

Can you imagine the burden that is put on our military to keep us "safe"?  This war seems to be never ending, and soldiers keep getting deployed over and over with little break in between.  The long months if not years away from your family and never knowing whether you will ever get to see your wife/husband and kids again.  This is a sad sacrifice the American people are willing to accept to keep us "safe".  I can't understand how people sleep at night knowing they support the war, and this is the sacrifice they're willing to give.  I'm guessing for a lot of them aren't in the military or don't have family in the military.  If they do then they really need to research if this never ending undeclared war is necessary for the survival of the United States.

I respect every person who volunteers to be in the military.  It takes great honor to give so much, but I also think they're currently expected to perform too much.  Who could spend a decade watching people die in front of them without any ill effects?  Living with the fact of some of the people they killed it a huge burden that I couldn't handle.  I applaud them all, but I say BRING THEM HOME!  Let them know there is an end and that they will only fight for valid reasons that are clearly defined in a Declaration of War.  A war on terror is impossible because there will always be crazy people that will try to kill a large number of people.  You can't fight what you can't define.

Watch some great soldiers coming home
